How? Did you install an RPM? Before or after OS update?
I checked the RPM for fc4 on CRAN which has
C compiler: gcc -O2 -g -pipe -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2
-fexceptions -m32 -march=i386 -mtune=pentium4 -fasynchronous-unwind-tables
Fortran 77 compiler: gfortran -O2 -g -pipe
-Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -m32 -march=i386 -mtune=pentium4
-fasynchronous-unwind-tables
C++ compiler: g++ -O2 -g -pipe -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2
-fexceptions -m32 -march=i386 -mtune=pentium4 -fasynchronous-unwind-tables
Fortran 90/95 compiler: gfortran -g -O2
not as you show. However, read on.

That may not actually be a problem: the problem is that your compiler is
not recognizing -mtune. (I seem to have run R RPMs for fc3 with
-march=i386 -mtune=pentium4 on a dual Athlon MP. 'tune' should generate
code that runs on other CPUs, just not optimally.)

The options are coming from the version of R you installed. I would
expect R compiled for FC4 to be using gfortran not g77 (as in the CRAN
RPM). The simplest way out here is compile R from the sources on your
actual machine, but you could try replacing your RPM with the CRAN fc4
one.
